What would happen if science unlocked the true rage of humanity?

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2010)

28 Days Later is the sci-fi horror thriller that brought zombies back to the mainstream in style. It and the Dawn of the Dead remake were mostly responsible for putting zombies back in the mind of the general movie going public, and making them actually exciting again.
This is a very British movie, and the style reflects that. It has a measured pace in some places, and the occasional humor is very dry. But when the action hits, it hits hard and it is frantic. It's an exciting film, to say the least.
There are a few recognizable faces here, but none of the actors involved were big stars at the time it was made. Which is great, because it would be a very different movie if it was just a vehicle for an actor or actress. 28 Days Later is more about the potential violence and rage in ordinary humans, than it is about the infected who have brought so much destruction to England. That's one aspect of the many that gives it appeal beyond the traditional audience of zombie flicks. Great movie.
